Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a urine sample collecting device. Background Art

[0002] In routine urine tests, first-pass urine is easily contaminated by the vulva, and last-pass urine is easily mixed with epithelial cells in the urinary system, causing detection errors. Therefore, when collecting urine samples, only mid-stream urine needs to be collected. The existing collection method is to collect urine in a disposable open plastic cup and then pour it into a collection tube. This collection method cannot separate mid-stream urine and easily causes urine test errors. Therefore, a collection device that can collect urine in segments is needed. Summary of the invention

[0003] The content of this application is used to introduce concepts in a brief form, which will be described in detail in the detailed implementation section below. The content of this application is not intended to identify the key features or essential features of the technical solution claimed for protection, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the technical solution claimed for protection.

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology section, some embodiments of the present application provide a urine sample collection device, including a collection tube, a baffle fixed on the collection tube, a sealing mechanism fixed on the baffle, a storage mechanism fixed on the collection tube, a collection cup rotatably mounted on the collection tube, a segmentation mechanism fixed on the collection cup, and a handle fixed on the collection cup. The collection tube is used to collect and store urine; the sealing mechanism is used to seal the collection tube; the storage mechanism is used to store urine in segments; the collection cup is used to receive urine; the segmentation mechanism is used to divert urine in segments and divert urine into the collection tube; and the handle is used to hold the entire device.

[0005] Specifically, the sealing mechanism includes a connecting strip fixed on the baffle, a first sealing ring fixed on the connecting strip, a second sealing ring fixed on the first sealing ring, and a sealing cover fixed on the second sealing ring; the first sealing ring, the second sealing ring, the sealing cover, and the connecting strip are connected by a plastic strip. The connecting strip is made of plastic and can be bent; the first sealing ring, the second sealing ring and the sealing cover are made of plastic; the inner sides of the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are provided with threads; the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are rotatably sleeved on the baffle of the collection tube through the threads, and the first sealing ring is at a certain distance from the baffle; the first sealing ring can seal the first collection port; the second sealing ring can seal the second collection port, and the sealing cover can seal the third collection port; the plastic strip will break after being twisted; after collecting urine, the sealing mechanism is rotated and sleeved on the collection tube as a whole for sealing, when it is necessary to take out urine, first press the second sealing ring, rotate the sealing cover, the plastic strips in the sealing cover and the second sealing ring will break, the sealing cover can be rotated and removed, the last urine is poured out from the third collection port, then press the first sealing ring, rotate the second sealing ring, the plastic strips in the second sealing ring and the second sealing ring will break, rotate and remove the second sealing ring, the middle urine can be poured out from the second collection port, finally rotate the first sealing ring, the plastic strips in the first sealing ring and the connecting strip will break, rotate and remove the first sealing ring, and the first urine can be poured out from the first collection port.

[0006] Specifically, the storage mechanism includes a first collection port fixedly arranged on the collection tube, a first partition fixedly arranged on the collection tube, a first channel fixedly arranged on the collection tube, a second collection port fixedly arranged on the collection tube, a second partition fixedly arranged on the collection tube, a second channel fixedly arranged on the collection tube, and a third collection port fixedly arranged on the collection tube. The first-stage urine enters the first channel from the first collection port and is stored in the lower section of the collection tube; the middle-stage urine enters the second channel from the second collection port and is stored in the middle section of the collection tube; the last-stage urine directly enters the upper section of the collection tube from the third collection port; the first partition is used to separate the first-stage urine and the middle-stage urine; the second partition is used to separate the middle-stage urine and the last-stage urine.

[0007] Specifically, the segmentation mechanism includes a slide fixed on the collection cup, a slider rotatably mounted on the slide, a first rotating plate fixed on the slider, a second rotating plate fixed on the collection cup, a third rotating plate fixed on the slider, a fourth rotating plate fixed on the collection cup, a first sealing component fixed on the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate, a second sealing component fixed on the third rotating plate and the fourth rotating plate, and a connecting component fixed on the slider. The slider can be rotated on the slide to adjust the working mode. The first working mode is to collect only the middle urine, and the first urine and the last urine will not enter the collection tube. The second working mode is to collect the first urine, the middle urine and the last urine in sections. Prostatitis patients need to perform segmented urine culture. This working mode is convenient for prostatitis patients to collect urine; the first sealing component is used to temporarily store the first urine in the collection cup; the second sealing component is used to temporarily store the middle urine in the collection cup; the connecting component is used to connect the collection cup and the storage mechanism.

[0008] Specifically, the first sealing component includes a plurality of first through holes fixed on the first rotating plate, a plurality of second through holes fixed on the second rotating plate, a plurality of first brackets fixed on the second rotating plate, a plurality of limiting grooves fixed on the first rotating plate, a first floating plate slidably arranged on the first bracket, and a first limiting block symmetrically fixed on the first floating plate. The first floating plate can float on the urine; the first bracket limits the first floating plate; the first limiting groove and the first limiting block cooperate to prevent the first floating plate from floating into the cavity of the first rotating plate and the fourth rotating plate; when collecting urine, the first through hole and the second through hole are aligned, and urine passes through the second sealing component, the first through hole and the second through hole, and then enters the cavity formed by the second rotating plate and the collection cup. During the collection process, the liquid level rises, causing the first floating plate to move upward along the first bracket, causing the limiting block to enter the limiting groove. At this time, the first floating plate will seal the first through hole, so that the urine cannot continue to flow into the cavity below. The urine collected in the cavity is the initial urine.

[0009] Specifically, the second sealing assembly includes a plurality of third through holes fixed on the third rotating plate, a plurality of fourth through holes fixed on the fourth rotating plate, a plurality of second brackets fixed on the fourth rotating plate, a plurality of limit grooves fixed on the third rotating plate, a second floating plate slidably arranged on the second bracket, and a second limit block symmetrically fixed on the second floating plate. The second float plate can float on the urine; the second bracket limits the second float plate; the second limiting groove and the second limiting block cooperate to prevent the second float plate from floating away from the third rotating plate; when collecting urine, the third through hole and the fourth through hole are aligned, and after passing through the third through hole and the fourth through hole, the urine enters the cavity formed by the fourth rotating plate and the first rotating plate. Because the first float plate has blocked the first through hole, the urine cannot enter the cavity below. At this time, the urine will be stored in the cavity formed by the first rotating plate and the fourth rotating plate, that is, the middle urine is collected. During the collection process, the liquid level rises, causing the second float plate to move upward along the second bracket, so that the second limiting block enters the second limiting groove. At this time, the second float plate will block the third through hole, so that the urine cannot continue to flow into the cavity formed by the first rotating plate and the fourth rotating plate. At this time, the middle urine is collected in the cavity, and the urine above the third rotating plate is the final urine.

[0010] Specifically, the communication component includes a first slot fixedly arranged on the slider, a second slot fixedly arranged on the slider, a third slot fixedly arranged on the slider, and a fourth slot fixedly arranged on the slider. When the device is in the first working mode, that is, only the middle urine is collected, the first slot and the second slot are blocked by the collection tube, and the third slot is offset by 90° with the third collection port. Therefore, the first slot, the second slot and the third slot do not play a connecting role at this time, and the fourth slot is aligned with the second collection port at this time. After the urine enters the first sealing component, the first slot is blocked by the collection tube and cannot enter the collection tube, pushing the first floating plate to move upward, thereby blocking the first rotating plate. The cavity formed by the first sealing component and the collection tube is the initial urine. Since the first rotating plate is blocked, the middle urine enters the second channel from the fourth slot and the second collection port, and finally flows into the cavity formed by the first partition and the second partition, completing the collection of the middle urine. When the cavity formed by the first partition and the second partition is filled, the urine will be stored in the cavity formed by the first rotating plate and the fourth rotating plate, pushing the second floating plate to move upward, and finally blocking the third rotating plate. The remaining urine will be collected above the third rotating plate, which is the final urine. When it is necessary to collect three sections of urine in sections, rotate the slider 90°. At this time, the first slot is aligned with the first collection port, the second slot is aligned with the second collection port, the third slot is aligned with the third collection port, and the fourth slot is blocked by the collection tube. When urine enters, it will first enter the first channel through the first slot and the first collection port, and flow into the lower section of the collection tube to complete the collection of the initial section of urine. After the lower section of the collection tube is filled, the urine will push the first floating plate to block the first rotating plate, and the urine will enter the second channel from the second slot and the second collection port, and flow into the middle section of the collection tube to complete the collection of the middle section of urine. After the middle section of the collection tube is filled, the urine will push the second floating plate to block the third rotating plate, and the urine will enter the upper section of the collection tube from the third slot and the third collection port to complete the collection of the last section of urine.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] (1) The midstream urine can be collected directly, solving the problem that the existing collection device cannot separate urine.

[0013] (2) There are two working modes. By rotating the slider, the first-pass urine, mid-pass urine and last-pass urine can be collected, which is convenient for some patients to perform urine segment culture.

[0014] (3) Simple operation. The existing collection device requires the urine to be collected with a plastic cup and then poured into a collection tube. The present invention can directly collect urine without the need for step-by-step operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
